Chapter 774 - At The Top (1/2)
After washing her hair, Zhao Huan wrapped them in a towel and asked, ”Do you want to clean up? I can help you?”
Xiu shook her head frantically, ”One hand of mine is working. I can do it myself.”
Zhao Huan laughed at Xiu's reaction and said, ”Aiyo, is my daughter embarrassed right now?”
Xiu didn't even bother hiding it as she nodded, ”Yes, I am. I'm very much embarrassed.”
Zhao Huan didn't tease her and said, ”I'm gonna stand outside. If you need help, just call me.” Xiu nodded her head again. ”Don't forget to call me.”
After sending her out, Xiu tried to take off this stupid hospital gown and sighed, ”Didn't think it'd this difficult with only one hand.” It took her a while but she still managed to do the rest herself. It didn't matter how thoroughly she managed to clean up, she thought it was enough to just wash up for now. Something is better than nothing.
While she was fighting to button up the shirt, she heard a knock at the door, ”Xiu, is everything okay? Do you really not need any help?”
”I'm fine,” Xiu called out from inside. She held the side of the bathtub to get onto the wheelchair and then shouted, ”Mom, you can come inside now.”Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/imperfect-desires_14488421705519105/at-the-top_50907746291204899 for visiting.
When Zhao Huan came inside she found Xiu breathing in greedily. She looked exhausted just from taking a bath. It really hurt Zhao Huan's heart but seeing Xiu made her want to laugh as well.
”I never thought washing up was this exhausting,” said Xiu.
”This is why I told you to let me help.”
”I can't let my mother do that for me.”
”If I'm not supposed to do it, who is?” asked Zhao Huan. ”Would you let Nora do it for you?”
Xiu shook her head, ”Never!”

In the room, Ying had come to see Xiu and Darren. But she only found Darren in the room and panicked, ”Where is Xiu?”
Darren looked at her reaction and said, ”She is taking a bath. Relax! Where can she go from here?”
Ying heaved a sigh of relief. Even she knew Xiu couldn't go anywhere from here but she still couldn't help the anxiety that brewed up when she didn't see Xiu inside. It must have been because of the physiological shadow of the other day.
Darren couldn't blame her for this reaction, he would have been in a worse condition if he had been in her position right now. He looked at the way she limped and asked, ”How's your injury?”
Ying waved her hand offhandedly, ”It's nothing special.”
”Injuries are never supposed to be special,” retorted Darren.
Ying gave him a look before continuing, ”I meant that it's no big deal. I can live.”
”What a shame!”
Ying glared at him, ”Oi! You want me dead?”
”I didn't say that,” replied Darren.
